Lyla
three times with your name
on silent whispering lips
almost ecstasy
Would the glass still have shattered had you not used it for wine?

Would the blanket still have caught fire had you not lit a cigarette?

Would your rent still be late had you not went to the casino?

Would I still have this pit in my stomach had you never said hello?
Some things are best left alone
Wanting to feel
The sensation of something real
Needing to heal
Wounds I never wanted to reveal
What I conceal
Will only lead to a repeat ordeal
I keep taking the deal
While not understanding life's appeal

Not a mind reader.
Not a heart reader.

The symbol for infinity is just another way of looking at the numbers six and nine depending on one's perspective....

Say goodnight Dan

Here lies what is left.
There lies what will be.
I lie down and hope I don’t croak.

I'd rather be alone
Than to be this lonely
With someone beside me
I'd much rather be
Just me only
Till it's just me and my headstone

Once you've cracked the code
the road ahead opens up.

The ghost train is a memory of all that pain
which in the end only served to make you stronger,

and here we are
still
sat in the car
trying to crack that code.

If the Genie had said to me
three wishes are yours
they could have
opened doors for me
one could have set my mind free,
but
that would have been too easy.

The road is there
only sometimes
we don't have enough light,
to see it.
